Well then the same thing can be said for Veit, Ashira, Bika and Manfredo, and let's be honest here did he REALLY look good against Ashira, Bika and Manfredo. I mean really? Were people clamoring him for his brilliant performances in those fights? Nope. Peopl like to see the Joe they saw when he got dropped by Salem and fought thru it to win, the Joe they saw against Mger, the Joe who put on a phenomenal performance agains Lacy.
Kessler looke good against Andrade cause he was better then him the same way Joe was better Lacy on those nights.

No need to watch the fight again I just saw it again about 2 weeks ago I have the fight. Kess is not an inside fighter theres no need for him to try and get inside. If anything I think Joe should come inside and try to push Kess around.
Kess fights at a distance and takes his shots from there. It will be interesting to see who fires off 1st I have a feeling it will be Joe to initiate the action which is one thing I wish Kess would change.

I agree on the hand speed, footwork well I mean he moves well side to side but to be honest here is this gonna be a fight or a running competion? I mean whats the point in all of us wanting them to fight and discussing this fight for about a year now if now suddenly we wan't our fighter to use his footwork and jump on his bike
In that case let's just have them meet at a race track and we can settle the foot speed there.

This is pretty funny here, cause this means you think Kess and Lacy are the same style of fighters. I am 100% sure that Joe himself or for that matter anyone else here can tell you Kess and Lacy do not have the same style.
For starters (I wont go much into detail cause I can be here all day) Lacy didn't even throw combos or a fwocken jab back then. He was right handed bomb thrower who stalked and stalked until he lande his bomb.
Kess is not like that again the issue I see for Kess here is letting Joe get off 1st which would make it that Joe was/is briging the fight to Kess.
I'll be the 1st to tell you that Joes footwork and hand speed is better then Kess. At the same time I'll be the 1st to tell you Kess can put punches together has a very goo strong jab that at times looks like a straight left punch cause it pushes the opponents back and snaps their head.

Look all in all right now I hate both guys for not having the balls to just stand up and just make the fight. They are both acting like Pre-Madonnas and not boxers.
